    Hello,

    I have made the below formula,

    Salicylic Acid 2%
    Propylene Glycol 20%
    Polysorbate 80 3% 
    Sodium Lactate to bring ph to 3.75

    I have tried this toner on my face and its sticky. 
    How can I get the dry feel or light feel?

    Please help!

    Hi Bindu,
    What are the other ingredients in this formula? Maybe the sticky feeling is caused by another ingredient?
